Not great, but better than the 10+ years before that. Wage growth has mostly been stagnant since the 1970's but there's occasional periods where it's done better. Like now, and I think about 10 years ago when a long period of crappy wage growth was broken following the GFC. It's one of the few genuinely good things about the economy recently, people are finally earning more and if that keeps up for a few more years a whole lot of people are going to see their lives improved.
Lol your whole argument that it's better now is based on your own argument it has been stagant for a decade and your pinnacle argument that fixes the mess is... 1 year of lukewarm wage growth? How the fuck does that fix anything?
Lol "few more years" .. you have nice jokes.
I think you are misunderstanding me or projecting things onto me that aren't there. I'm pointing at one of the few good things in the economy and saying if it continues then we will begin to see real change for the better. Also, it's not been lukewarm wage growth, it's been relatively strong and especially so for lower income workers. Labor is finally winning some and it's bizarre that people are getting mad at me for pointing it out. It's not a joke, it's more money in people's pockets finally and I hope it continues.
